Hi Boopathi,

Have you checked whether the hyperlink address has been changed via right clicking the hyperlink, then click Edit Hyperlink? Try removing the hyperlink and then re-add it again.

In addition, please go to File > Option > Advanced, scroll down to the General section, click Web Option button, click Files tab, make sure that the check box before "Update links on save" option is not ticked.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Steve Fan
